Diamond Head, Crowdy Bay National Park: Sun at Last

November 12th, 2008

Olive and KangaroosDespite the forecast for a rainy day, we woke to sunny blue skies, and decided to stay here another day. We headed off on a two hour hike to Diamond Head and back, which also passed Kylie’s Hut, an old wooden cabin that was used by an author many years ago when she stayed and wrote about the area.

We also saw some more whales and great views of long white sandy beaches up and down the coast.

Olive loved patting the tame kangaroos that are everywhere around this campsite, and has learned a new expression “k’roo poo’ after the advice not to pick up the little pebbles. An afternoon swim at the beach was followed by a cold shower. Most of the National Parks don't have any showers, so a cold one is better than nothing.
